Hey y’all! I’m back! With fewer teeth, more paint, and a full-on hot flash...for reals. 😅

In this video, I’m swatching the Menopause watercolor set from Mette at Art to Basic (yes, that’s the real name and yes, I’m obsessed). These paints are hand-poured, granulating, and just plain delicious.

If you’ve ever debated splurging on artisan watercolors, come hang out and swatch with me. You’ll get a peek at the dreamy textures and my nerd out moment for labeling... hello, Niimbot.

Drop a comment if you’ve tried handmade watercolors...what's your favorite maker???

*Y'ALL!!! She sold out of this set! I bet if you messaged her, she may make some more. So Sorry!!!!!!* 😭
